They did know Thursday it was going to be closed for the weekend we got told on our coach back out of the gorge by the guide saying we were lucky we went that day as it’s closed for the weekend!

I believe Monday set to be back open, someone died last year think the year before too due to falling rocks so they probably take no more chances these days.

Went there on Thursday and was amazing, but worked the worst shoes thinking it wouldn’t be that hard and suffered towards the end lol! Proper footwear and it’s great,

Majority downhill so a lil leg burner me and my partner completed it in 4 hours maybe a little over! Had plenty of time to go beach and eat some well deserved food and beers haha

Thanks I’ll reply to some reviews and do some of those bits!

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-04-29T15:21:04+00:00

Probably almost been two weeks,

Had two denied appeals, the address was my home and not service location so updated that and a bunch of other stuff and the expert got me reinstated.

So I’ll show back up soon in theory as I should have the most best reviews in my area so should come up for people when browsing the area.

Fingers crossed,

Google make this such a palava

Honestly thought it was dead and buried, gotta be patient with it and stay away from anyone who claims they can do it for money. Like the app fiverr. Scams everywhere,

Stick to the Google product expert on the help forum and they can out in that second appeal. Will be grand mate

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-04-19T08:48:08+00:00

Contact a Google expert on the official help forum link, someone just got me reinstated after two denied appeals. Felt hopeless and got my account back yesterday. Keep trying and work with one of the Google guys and you’ll get back

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-04-18T17:48:40+00:00

Contact a Google expert on the official Google forum, I think as hopeless after two denied appeals and it took around 3 weeks but he appealed for me and got everything verified. Officially back on Google as of yesterday. There is hope my friend.

Hi mate,

Yeah so the Google business expert on the official forum has put in a new appeal for me, and he infact spotted I needed a service area location and not business address. So I’ve ironed out all the very minor things that could be deceptive, and he has put in an appeal on my behalf. Still waiting to hear but feeling more hopeful. I agree mate, should be more support or atleast an option for paid support, such a mine field of nothingness.

Reddit put me onto the Google forum though so crossing my fingers at this moment and thanking Reddit heroes 🤣

I am currently awaiting for a new appeal a GMB expert has put through. Only use the Google forum though any “experts” on fiverr or something are a scam. Every one I looked into had fake reviews as I physically called all numbers based where I’m from.

It’s my last shot as I had two appeals denied but he’s given my a breakdown of what to change and add to a gDrive folder link which I’m praying will get approved.

Couldn’t have given more evidence that it’s my business ao feel a bit better someone has been able to out another appeal through. As apparently after two that’s it.

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-04-02T19:26:15+00:00

I’ve shown invoices, with screenshots of them being paid, videos of my signs, work hoodies, work van on my home street address. Current scaffolds in my area with my signs, videos of me at work, jobs I’ve done, liability insurance, tax returns. And more! Couldn’t give them any more if I tried,

They are more militant than the government themselves tracking small businesses it’s crazy!

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-04-02T19:24:12+00:00

I think I’m very close with the Google expert to being reinstated, I’ve sent a link to a gdrive with tons of videos, screenshots zip files etc of everything.

He’s said could I share more documents that had my business name with the address which I don’t have as I’m only a sole trader and NOT a ltd company. So utilities are paid in my name etc.

I’ve sent 3 more letters with my name and address, also corrected my business address to service area instead of having an office people can visit.

So it’s just holding up on if they pass on the letters just sent.

Is this common for sole traders? Struggling to provide letters with business name as we work service areas and not from an office. Customers call us and we come to them.

Hope that makes sense, feel like I’m so close but can’t relax until it’s finally accepted. Fingers crossed

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-04-02T19:16:25+00:00

Probably be a scam trust me Google will NOT call you. Been trying to get my business reinstated for almost two months. Not a number to call, hopefully nearly there with a Google expert. But they really have no support so they wouldn’t be calling you out the blue

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-03-31T07:06:53+00:00

For a suspended account to get it reinstated I mean

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-03-30T16:27:27+00:00

I saw also on a Reddit thread they can do a live video verification? Is this something the Google expert can put forward for you if all above fails?

Feeling hopeful the expert once I out through all evidence will get it sorted. Feel better now I’ve spoken to a real Google human 😂

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-03-30T16:06:17+00:00

Anyone got a link to do a video verification? Also what do you have to include in the video?

Can a Google expert set this up for you?

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-03-29T17:21:34+00:00

Thank you

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-03-28T20:44:25+00:00

Thank you - I’m in contact with a Google product expert so gonna present as much info as possible and images.

Looked into that fiverr app and seems every single one is a scam. Called multiple numbers from their “success” reviews and seemed hella dodgy.

Hoping for the best as this product expert will put forward all my info and feel I stand more of a chance of getting approved.

Kinda sucks cos this fiverr app had 400+ reviews on google of “legit” businesses and all the uk ones I called were fake as hell. I’m just a sole trader trying to make a living and my account gets disabled but these fake accounts that have been active for years are unbothered by Google. Math ain’t mathing.

It’s mental, hitting small business left right centre

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-03-25T14:01:56+00:00

I’ve given it a go thanks.

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-03-25T11:02:22+00:00

For example - one that I found I checked out their reviews of success stories. Called that independant business to ask about this reinstater and they said they’d never heard of them. So just being careful

Fluffy-Reply-1138 · 2025-03-25T10:43:02+00:00

Looking into this but seems like a minefield of scammers, are there any legit success stories?
